43 The "thanks to gebi for the bugreports and feedback" release. :)
44 * Install busybox in kernel stage to be able to debug initramfs
46 * Check whether we are installing into a directory in stage mkfs
47 so we don't skip if the target is already mounted.
48 * Mention "default: lenny" instead of "default: stable" in help
49 text as "stable" is invalid.
50 * Use 'pri=0' as example for swap partition in /etc/fstab.
51 * Do not adjust mydestination and myhostname in /etc/postfix/main.cf as
52 mydestination defaults to "$myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost",
53 myhostname defaults to gethostname() and mydomain to localdomain.
54 * Slightly improve wording of -t and -p options.
55 * Do not try to create /etc/debootstrap if it already exists (which
56 might be the case when installing to a directory).
57 * Mention hostname in configuration check dialog.
58 * Apply patch by Zoran Dzelajlija which addresses the partition
59 calculation problem when installing to /dev/cciss/c0d0*. Thanks!
60 * Use ls for locating /dev/md* devices instead of echo so we don't
61 have '/dev/md*' in the interactive partition dialog.
62 * Do not display mountpoint if we are using the default one.
63 * Avoid duplicate 'Running ... on a directory, nothing to mount.'
65 * Do not continue execution if provided mirror doesn't work.
67 * Bump Standard Version to 3.8.2 (no further changes).

89 display for checking configuration again.
90 - Drop 'do not prompt for partition dialog if swraid has been
91 configured already' which doesn't make any sense in most situations
93 - check for mounted target in mkfs() step already instead of mount_target()
94 - use '.. to the debootstrap command' in description of --debopt
